Los Angeles Times Daily Crossword Puzzle
Edited by Rich Norris and Joyce Nichols Lewis
Few artists have electrified
Ann Arbor audiences like Chick
Corea. His 2015 performance
with Herbie Hancock was one
of the most recent University
Musical Society performances
of the past couple of years. His
historic performance at Hill
Auditorium during the Great
Blizzard of 1978 (again with
Herbie Hancock) was released
as part one of “An Evening with
Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea:
In Concert.”
This
coming
weekend,
Corea partners with the Jazz
at Lincoln Center Orchestra to
present an evening of Corea’s
music
at
Hill
Auditorium.
The concert will also feature
the Jazz at Lincoln Center
Orchestra, another ensemble
that has proven to be extremely
popular
among
Ann
Arbor
audiences.
This
concert
also
marks
the end of the Jazz at Lincoln
Center’s
first
tour
without
Wynton
Marsalis,
the
accomplished
leader
of
the
ensemble
who
is
currently
taking a brief hiatus to pursue
other projects.
“This was a good first foray
into touring without Wynton,”
said Jason Olaine, Director of
Programming and Touring for
Jazz at Lincoln Center, in an
interview with The Daily. As
they enter their last couple days
of performances, “the band and
Chick have been really happy.”
Jazz at Lincoln Center is a
notoriously busy organization.
I interviewed Olaine as he
arrived back to New York from
Shanghai, and as the ensemble
moved from Arizona to Chicago.
With
this
hectic
schedule,
it’s easy to understand why
Marsalis might have stepped
away from the ensemble for a
little while.
“Usually our Jazz at Lincoln
Center Orchestra with Wynton
Marsalis tours between 13 and
18 weeks every year,” Olaine
said.
“Wynton
scheduled
a
short sabbatical and our agent
happens to be Chick’s agent.”
While the Jazz at Lincoln
Center Orchestra and Chick
Corea go on tour all the time,
Ann Arbor is lucky to have
hosted 18 previous Jazz at
Lincoln
Center
Orchestra
concerts
and
five
previous
Chick Corea concerts.
“This concert does speak to
your in-house-programming to
have been able to secure this
date,” Olaine said.
Corea is perhaps best known
today for his versatility. He
has performed throughout his
career with a huge number
of artists, collaborating with
everyone from Miles Davis
to Bobby McFerrin. He has
worked frequently in the past
with the Jazz at Lincoln Center
Orchestra and is quite popular
among the members of the
ensemble.
Last time he worked with the
orchestra, “Chick had a great
time and we loved it,” Olaine
said. “Victor Goines has been
working with Chick as co-music
director,” he continued, and
there has been “lots of great
energy all around.”
Corea
and
the
ensemble
have gone on to develop a close
relationship, performing not as
soloist and orchestra but as a
coherent ensemble.
“It’s a little bit different
than coming up with a new
setlist every night,” Olaine said.
“Chick is such a grandmaster,
and it’s been to be pretty special
(to work with him).”
In the past, the ensemble
has collaborated with Corea to
perform newer compositions.
They
also
worked
quite
extensively on the music of
Thelonious
Monk.
During
this
tour,
however,
they’re
“primarily focusing on (Corea’s)
music,” Olaine explained.
Saturday’s
performance
marks the end of the tour that
started in Provo, Utah on Mar.
20. Given what he has heard
of the first portion of the tour,
Olaine seemed confident that
it will be a magical event. The
Final Four basketball game on
the same night recently pushed
the concert back a half hour, and
he predicted that this would
only add to the energy of the
performance.
“The concert in Michigan
on Saturday is gonna be a great
one,” Olaine said. In their
previous collaborations, “Chick
has had a great time and we
absolutely loved it.”
As for future performances of
both the Jazz at Lincoln Center
Orchestra and Chick Corea in
Ann Arbor, Olaine was hesitant
to make any promises. “When
it works out next, we’ll see,” he
said.
As for the end of the tour,
however, he predicted a great
performance.
Saturday’s
performance will mark the
end of a fantastic tour and
(hopefully) the beginning of
a new collaboration between
artist and ensemble.
“Chick has been having a
great time, and our guys love
Chick,” Olaine said. All in all, it
promises to be another exciting
evening for these two ensembles
in a city that has played host to
some remarkable concerts from
them over the past 40 years.

A
breakthrough
for
the
University’s
business
and
fashion scenes, The Michigan
Fashion Media Summit (MFMS)
will be hosting their first annual
conference on Apr. 13, 2018. The
student-run, 40-person team is
sprinting to the finish, prepping
for the event’s debut, one that
will transform the Ross School
of Business into an impactful
fashion mecca. High fashion
does not even begin to describe
it. Wolverines, you do not want
to miss this one.
The
day-long
conference
entails
a
never-before-seen
grouping of speakers from the
fashion
industry.
Attendees
of the event — hosted by Amy
Levin, founder and executive
director of the global fashion
community College Fashionista
— can look forward to talks
from fashion industry geniuses,
including Gary Sheinbaum, CEO
of Tommy Hilfiger Americas,
and David Cho, Director of
Partnership
Activation
for
Adidas.
Anxiously
awaiting
the
arrival
of
the
event,
the
confident, savvy and, of course,
highly fashionable founders of
MFMS spoke of their inspiration
for the creation of an event of
this caliber.
“What was really important
to me is teaching incoming
Wolverines, and also current
students, about the importance
of networking, and just how
rewarding it is to form an
event that touches every part
of business through a fashion
channel. That’s really why we’re
filling a void, we are putting a
different spin on what fashion
organizations currently exist on
campus,” said MFMS President,
Founder and LSA senior Ali
Gropper.
The void that MFMS is
filling has caught the attention
of industry titans, such as
Rachel Zoe, who has expressed
immense
support
of
the
organization’s
work.
Truly
unique to Michigan’s campus,
MFMS aims to reach students in
all corners of the University.
“Every person who cares
about what they wear, who
has an interest in brands, who
knows what’s cool, who knows
what’s trending, who is on
Instagram and scrolls … we
touch every single inch of any
industry through this channel
of fashion but really it extends
so much further than that,”
said Kinesiology senior Rachel
Roth, who is also the co-founder,
creative
director
and
chief
marketing officer of MFMS.
With
an
emphasis
on
networking
and
the
inner
workings
of
the
fashion
industry, MFMS is merging the
best of both worlds to present a
conference that is multi-faceted,
fabulous and, above all, high-
fashion.
Drawing
inspiration
from
the Michigan Sports Business
Conference, MFMS brings a
creative twist to the traditional
business
atmosphere
often
portrayed in the Ross School of
Business.
“It’s a different vibe in the
two different businesses … you
go into a sports office, it doesn’t
matter what organization you’re
working with, everyone’s in
a suit and tie and it’s kind of
that culture. You walk into a
big fashion company, there’s
no dress code. People wear
whatever they want. It’s a little
more relaxed. It’s more creative.
It’s more fun,” said LSA senior
and MFMS co-founder and chief
operating officer Ryan Walker.
As Apr. 13 rapidly approaches,
MFMS is certainly an event you
want to keep an eye on. Aiming
to reach students of all career
trajectories, the opportunities
for involvement in both the
business and fashion worlds are
endless.

things The MFMS has to offer,

MFMS, by visiting their website.
Michigan Fashion Media
Summit a breakthrough
MARGARET SHERIDAN
Daily Arts Writer
When my 11th grade A.P.
American Literature class began
reading
“Beloved,”
by
Toni
Morrison, I couldn’t have been
more
excited;
it
represented
the blend of American history
and contemporary voices that I
loved, and I had yet to read any of
Morrison’s works. I don’t want to
ruin the plot for anyone who has
yet to read it, so let it suffice to
say that the novel tells the story
of Sethe, an enslaved woman
who runs away with her children
from a plantation and, upon facing
capture and re-enslavement, is
presented with an impossible
choice. It’s one she makes and
sticks to.
I immediately fell in love with
Morrison’s writing. I had never
read a book so simultaneously
blunt and musical, sparse yet
evocative. Yet my experience with
the book, beyond my appreciation
for Morrison’s talent, was shaped
primarily by my shock at how
Sethe’s action quickly became
the most polarized topic among
my grade class. I had never seen
my classmates so animated over
debating a person’s decision in
a piece of literature, from any
course. Either the mother’s choice
was unequivocally wrong or it was
justified, something that we could
see ourselves making.
I argued at the time that we
couldn’t know if we would have
done the same thing; part of the
brilliance of “Beloved” is how
Morrison keeps us at a distance
from her characters, a distance
I couldn’t help but feel was
deepened by the fact that the
majority of my class, faculty and
school was white; my peers and
I had grown up learning about
American slavery in neat, annual
units. Though I had incredible
history teachers in high school, I
felt that my classmates and I had
never been taught how to fully
grasp the weight of that piece of
our history.
Since then, “Beloved” has been
my answer whenever people ask
what my favorite book is. My reply
to the follow-up question has
been, from 11th grade until just
this year, because it’s “the most
visceral lesson in empathy a book
has ever given me.” I’ve spent the
past year reading and writing and
talking about “Beloved” for my
English thesis, and have decided
it is more true to say that reading
the book is a lesson in the limits of
empathy. Based on the true story
of Margaret Garner, no other book
I have ever read has reckoned so
viscerally with the limits of white
access to and empathy for Black
narratives, access to incomplete
records of American slavery’s
history, the troubled articulation
of
unspeakable
trauma
and
the strive to recuperate stories
that have been lost to history.
Through language stripped down
to only the most vital elements,
moments of uninhibited love, of
private intimacy, are rendered
in
heartbreakingly
exquisite
prose. The epilogue of “Beloved”
may be the most beautiful and
haunting piece of writing I’ve ever
encountered.
“Beloved” is part of why I chose
to major in English and history,
and part of why I’m so invested
in
interdisciplinary
work.
In
“The Site of Memory,” Morrison
noted that in writing “Beloved,”
her job had become figuring
out “how to rip that veil drawn
over ‘proceedings too terrible
to relate.’” I think that learning
how to reckon with this veil that
reminds us of experiences or parts
of our history we may never fully
understand is of vital importance
for us as creators and consumers
of art, as students and teachers,
as active participants of a world
in which these issues are only
escalating in urgency.
The
first
time
I
finished
“Beloved,” I scribbled on the back
page: “Reading this book feels
like listening to a stethoscope
pressed up against the heart of the
nation.” A pretentious thing to say,
perhaps, but it feels truer to me
more so now than ever. My copy is
heavy with fading penciled notes
from high school, careful red
underlining from this summer and
eager highlighting from the past
few weeks as I’ve tried for months
to articulate what I feel to be true:
For its lessons, for its warnings
and its beauty, “Beloved” is one of
the most important books of the
past half century.
